This would drive me nuts too OP. But short of convincing the neighbor to take them down there is not much you can do.
Try a white noise machine. I am a light sleeper and the white noise machine helps me drown out nightime noises that used to disturb my sleep |

How are wind chimes different from leaf blowers?
DCUM will defend to the death someone's right to use a whining machine to blow leaves around at half past dawn, but hang some soothing wind chimes and we're suddenly bringing out the rubber bands and threats? |

I have a small wind chime that's hung in a place that's buffeted from winds on two sides. So the wind has to be going a certain way for it to go off. It's a light chime that I've had for years and no one has said anything. If a neighbor came up to me and asked about it, I'd of course take it down...it's just a wind chime, I'll live. If a neighbor snuck on my property and took it, or broke it...I would be upset. And we'd know since we have a camera right night to the chime.

| I hate wind chimes. A high-pitched tinky noise and it’s not a soothing predictable noise that you can filter out. It’s erratic. And it’s in the middle the night and at random times during the day. I’m with you- loathe wind chimes. |

NP. To annoy the neighbors, I can only assume. Personally, I quite enjoy the sound of a deeper, high quality sound wind chime sometimes when I'm in the mood, e.g. during a yoga class, but that doesn't mean I want to listen to one at random times of the day/night while I'm trying to sleep or concentrate with no control over it. I honestly can't even imagine being so entitled as to put something whose purpose is to make noise in my yard - let alone something that could be making noise 24/7 including times when I'm not even home - in an urban or suburban area where other people would be able to hear it. It's really the height of entitlement. |

| If it's below 60dB of noise at the location you are hearing it, there's nothing you can do. |

| OP buy noise canceling headphones so you can hear your thoughts in peace |

| Or stop taking your meds OP, and soon the voices in your head will overpower the chimes |

I think you mean buffered? A wind chime buffeted from two sides would not be cool... |

| I have three wind chimes - we love them. I don’t care if they bother anyone else. They are on my property. |

| Just be an adult and talk to the neighbor about it. I have some up and if a neighbor told me they drove them nuts, I wouldn't mind taking them down. |
